HiDef: Southern Steam Special - 154 & 630 Knoxville to Alcoa 11/13/11

On a VERY windy day in east Tennessee, Norfolk Southern's 21st Century Steam program continued the weekend's festivities in Knoxville. This time, they featured two Southern steam locomotives: G&O's 154 and TVRM's 630.

In this video, you will follow train 951 from its departure in Knoxville's City Yard with engine 154 all the way to Alcoa, where 154 will be swapped for 630. From there, you'll see the train steam back north to Knoxville on the NS K&A Line. Smoke, steam, and ashes are in the air during the second installment of S-Line Productions' "Month of Southern Heritage" series. Enjoy!

Is this on the Three River's Rambler or what? Doesn't say so anywhere on here.

@SierraRailway If you'd read the description you'd know. It was on the NS K&A Line between Knoxville and Maryville. Thanks for the viewership!

I stopped for a moment in Maryville when the 154 pulled in. It was awesome to see two steam trains on that day. BTW, this is my neck of the woods and I've driven over and walked the track right around the Vestal area. Knew exactly where Mt. Olive Rd. is too. All I know is that now, I've gotta get on one of these trains!

Hmm. Southern Railway's finest. W. Graham Claytor and his brother would be very proud.
